Overview of the Havapoo

The Havapoo is a hybrid dog that results from a mixture of the Havanese and Poodle breeds. This mixed breed is characteristically recognized by its small round head is also called Havadoodle, Havandoodle, or Poovanese.

Havapoos tend to be developed from the mix of miniature or toy Poodles with the Havanese. While Poodles originate in Germany or France, the Havanese is a descendent of the Bichon family that originates from Tenerife dogs brought to in Cuba in the 1500s.

Size and Color of Havapoo Puppies

As a mixed breed, Havapoo puppies can vary significantly in size and color, even amongst puppies of the same litter.

A given puppy can inherit more traits from any one parent, introducing variability in the size and colors of puppies.

Havapoos tend to stand 8-15 inches tall with an average weight of 10-25lb. If a toy Poodle and a smaller Havanese dog are bred, then the puppy can weigh on the lower end of that spectrum, near 10lb.

Havapoos can come in a variety of colors and patterns. This is due to 16 recognized colors of the Havanese breed by the American Kennel Club (AKC) and 11 recognized colors of the Poodle breed. That said, the most common Havapoo colors include chocolate, cream, white, grey, black, and apricot. Puppies can come in solid colors, bi-color, tri-color, tuxedo, or spotted patterns.
